Bought Arenado this morning leaving Belli as the last card for LS. Got lucky in the headliner pack from the free NBCD. I saw NL RF and completely expected Yeli or Harper. I didn't get LS done until like Dec last year and I still have 300k in stubs to play with after buying Rollins this morning. Glad my LS grind is over. Time to grind for Trout.

With half the days having server/stat counting issues the 1st Inning, BR, Event, and RS timelines need to be extended @SDS_Jax
No need to worry about 1st inning. You'll be able to get 2x 0 XP all weekend!

@locutusofburg said in I think with no double xp a lot of people will struggle to complete the programs:
And I mean just getting to the boss packs.
Doing a bit of a breakdown, last year you essentially got 3 program stars per 9 inning game. This year if you play a ranked season game maybe you’ll get 2k-3k or so xp a game. That translates to a much slower progression to 350k xp than the old method.
Add to it that showdown only gets you 35k which I believe is significantly less than showdown gave last year stars wise and I really think that casual players are likely to be locked out of getting to the bosses, which is very unfortunate.
Come on you can't be serious. All I see is you complaining every time you post.
2 conquests @ 25k (based on the first one already release I'd assume the one tomorrow for Mother's Day will be 25k too) = 50k
Most likely 2 player programs which were 35k each in 1st inning = 70k
3 1st inning bosses = 50k
Showdown 35k
That alone is 205k. So you just need 145k XP over the next 27 days which is roughly 5400 XP/day. if we go by your #s of 2-3k/ranked game you need to play 2-3 ranked games a day to just hit the 2nd inning boss. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. What i didn't include in my calculation was a second collection which is likely but I don't want to try and put an XP # on it because they have varied a bit.
-
No. Just no. Just because it's called XP instead of stars people feel the need that it needs to be extended. I don't recall seeing any of these threads last year. you maxed congrats. There is so much more to still work on like RS, BR, TA, RTTS, parallels, etc. If that doesn't float your boat and not earning anything for your XP bothers you so much play a different game until the next inning. Especially with XP exploits out there this is 0 reason for SDS to add more onto the reward track. Why reward ppl for exploits?
-
I'm curious why it bothers you so much
-
I don't understand why ppl would sit on 1 game for 8+h. Take the L and move on. Does it suck? Yes but like a previous poster said think of all the other games you could have won waiting for possibly getting 1 win.
-
haha you guys should've grabbed him during the 50% off packs. i got Trout for 167k then.

if you only casually (once every couple of days) don't expect to finish programs, regardless of the servers, the programs have and always will be meant for the grind. You can't just play every couple days, not grind and expect to be rewarded.

They always reward people for playing the game (when we can play it) and they always do a good job at putting out content. Maybe extending the inning program is not the best way to reward people that have had issues but they still need to reward people that are going through issues.
why do we need to be rewarded?
We have had tons of server issues, people losing stubs, people losing cards and ranked seasons record issues. At the very least a 10 pack bundle.
they don't owe us anything. Yeah it sucks that servers have been bad, but at the same time they gave us a great game this year, hitting and pitching finally work. Be grateful for a new game at all. It'll be fine in the long haul.
If I buy a car and it's not working for the first week+ I sure as hell am not thinking "hey I should be grateful they gave me a new car it'll be fine in the long haul"

9 more days of playing mlb the market 21.
Absolutely zero incentive to play the game after 650k.
Didn't realize playing the market and the XP grind were the only 2 things to do in this game. Guess you might want to invest in another game or maybe go outside for once.
Haha you've played dd more than me sassy boy.
Yeah I prolly have. Your point? I'm not whining about XP. You are. I still play the game even after maxing out TA1 & 2nd inning. Like I said if you have 0 incentive to play just because you maxed out XP either go outside or find a different game because there's still plenty to do in THIS game and you don't have to look very hard to find something to do.

I just received a 42 series player from the NL central and I was going fast and accidentally selected Jayson Heyward for the second time (why is that even an option?)
What do I do now? Can the devs fix this? I have zero chance for Jackie bc of it. Plz helpIt's a widespread problem that sds has blatantly ignored. Its an easy fix. Once all team 1 affinities are at 100% you should have every 42 series card in your inventory. Obviously not the market ones, just the non sellable ones.
I agree it's a widespread problem that people are idiots. Now before you flame me. Re-read OP.
"I was going fast and accidentally selected Jayson Heyward for the second time"
Yeah this isn't a glitch. OP even admits he was going through the cards too fast and chose a dupe. As Forrest Gump said "Stupid is as stupid does".
I mostly agree with this, but why make it an option to choose the same player more than once? It seems like a very easy fix. Block out the players you’ve already selected, done.
I guess SDS had more faith in humanity to look at cards and see that "x1" and not choose that one. I had them all written down and crossed them out as I chose them so I didn't make a mistake in taking a dupe. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? I guess it's just easier to blame someone else.

Yep same error here. been grinding through Conquest and just finished a game.

Parallels need one change. Once someone hits T5 for a card, they get that 1/1 and then T5 is locked for that card forever. T4 is obtainable, but T5 should really be a 1/1.
I disagree. We don't need exclusionary BS added to the parallels. It's not like that person did anything special. They were just the first to max the grind with that card.

Imagine trying to tell the free market not to make stubs when demand is high....
There was a big problem last year with the avalibility of cards after roster updates. You weren't around for the AJ Ramos debacle.
It wasn't a debacle. This happens every time there's a roster update. It'll take awhile for enough of them to be pulled to bring the price down. AJ Ramos SEEMS like a bigger problem to you because it happened in early October when some of the player base had already moved onto other games like Madden. Therefore there were fewer players and fewer packs being ripped. If you don't have patience to wait out the high prices that's a you problem.

MTO is boring but it's how I've gotten most of my Affinity points. I've beaten a few Showdowns but I'm well under 50% on completing them. That said MTO > 9 inn games with CPU easily. I've got 5 or 6 MTOs queued up to right before the end of the season or at the playoffs so I can roll those teams through TA3 right away. Won't be as quick as those doing exchanges but it's helped me get to gold 50 already. I didn't hit that until after the baseball season was over last year.
As for the price fixing sorry OP but you are in the wrong here. The buyers are setting the market not the sellers. I just sold off all my extra silvers this morning as I saw 79s were 900-1k and I didn't think it'll get much higher than that.

Stream was legit even tho you did get Springered and Alonso trolled you.

I think you guys may be over prepared. A line from the live stream caught my attention and has stuck with me. I'm paraphrasing but it was along the lines of "you may have a bunch of these already in your collection with no collection for them. that will change on the 28th". To me it sounds like a lot of cards will be recoded to fit into the collections with the tiers Rookie, Vet, AS, PS, & Breakout. The other type of card collection that would be needed is signature based on last year. So if you have base sig walker that's a sig card. if you have prestige walker that is also a sig card. Prestige won't be a separate collection need. Back to the recoding look at the TA3 cards. Yount's is from his 82 season based on his age. therefore that could go into AS or PS where he hit .414 in the WS. Dawson is from his ROY season so that would go into the rookie tier. Brett is from 85 so it could be AS or PS. i sold off my investments in the last 24h because I think the bubble will burst once the collection drops and people see they are over prepared.

Exactly, give them the true 1/1, thats what a superfractor is.
Again I disagree. All that would lead to is ppl that have a ton of time to play the game having a ton of 1/1 while the majority of the player base would never get one unless they decided to do it with a bronze or silver. Again we don't need exclusive [censored]. Serial # is a great way to give that first person something exclusive to them but still allows others to attain the same stats with said card.
Woot! Mantle is home.
